Humors rise to the surface and flesh tightens around bones and scales away at the slightest touch. Used against physically tough opponents, this ritual strips away the inherent resilience of the vampiric body, leaving it a fragile, dry husk. The thaumaturge must inscribe his subject’s true name (which is much harder to discern for elders than it is for young vampires) on a piece of paper, which he uses to cut himself and then burns to cinders.","System: This ritual causes the subject’s {@attribute Stamina|V20} and {@discipline Fortitude|V20} (if any) to drop to 1 each. For every Generation below Eighth, the subject retains one extra point of {@attribute Stamina|V20} or {@discipline Fortitude|V20} (keeping {@discipline Fortitude|V20} first, though she may not exceed her original scores). For example, a vampire of the Fourth Generation with {@discipline Fortitude|V20} targeted by Paper Flesh would drop to a {@attribute Stamina|V20} + {@discipline Fortitude|V20} score of 6 (assuming the score was 6 or more to begin with).
